we are joined from lebanon, oregon. caller: i was never surveyed. i'm a single mother of one teenaged boy, and we get a little over $1,500 a month in disability. if we did qualify, it would be for about $10 a month. it costs two hundred dollars a month to buy food and gas and clothes for my son. we go to food banks. unfortunately, we cannot control the kind of food they have. a lot of times they're not fresh vegetables. the person in iowa, i want to let her know that i didn't think there are statistics out there. i am not hearing anything at all. host: do you or your son go to bed hungry at night? caller: we do not because i use every resource there. i ask neighbors, family, and i do whatever i can. i know these teenage years are important for growth, and a lot of things are full of all kinds of crap, excuse my language. host: thank you. guest: the first point, asking about who we survey, we surveyed about 45,000 households each year. of course, there are many households not serve it, but it is a representative sample. we get a picture based on this
